Montana fly fishing is synonomous with large rivers and mountain streams, but it is also home to some of the best lake fishing for wild trout in the world. Many of of Montana's lakes have productive hatches that include the callibeatis, damself fly and trico hatches. These prolific hatches produce some larger than average fish!
Ennis Lake Fly-Fishing Guide
Ennis Lake is a medium sized reservoir that separates the Upper and Lower Madison Rivers. The majority of the fishing on Ennis Lake is sight fishing to large cruising browns and rainbows. We either fish directly from the drift boat or get out and wade on some of the flats. Occasionally we split a day with the morning spent casting to rising trout on Ennis Lake and the afternoon spent fly fishing the Madison River.
Harrison Lake Fly-Fishing Guide
Harrison Lake is a medium sized reservoir that is located about 30 minutes from both Bozeman and Ennis. Harrison is a favorite of several of our seasoned fly fishing guides due to its unique strain of hard fighting rainbow trout. "Harrison lake" rainbows are large and scrappy. The average trout in the lake is between 16 and 19" with larger fish common. These are heavy trout that put a serious bend in the rod when the make their reel scorching runs.
